New Picnic Time is the third studio album by American rock band Pere Ubu. Reportedly the album sessions were stressful and contentious, and after touring, the group disbanded. They would reform a matter of months later, with Mayo Thompson replacing founding guitarist Tom Herman. The lyrics for the song "The Voice of the Sand" are based upon the poetry of Vachel Lindsay.
All songs written by Pere Ubu (David Thomas, Tom Herman, Tony Maimone, Allen Ravenstine and Scott Krauss).
